2017: A Year in the life of an Author

Last year saw the single biggest setback of my writing career. I'm not going to go into again, though, because it took me too damned long to get over. Let's focus on the good stuff, shall we?


In addition to my very first signings and public speaking events (which made me physically ill for two weeks - thanks Depression and Anxiety, ya bastards - but were totally worth it), I got to work with some amazing publishers and editors. 

Here's what 2017 brought us:

"Halloween Night"
"The Night He Came"

I'm really proud of what I accomplished last year and I'm excited to see where 2018 takes my writing career. Guess that means I'd better get off Blogger and get some writing done, eh?
